Inside the home, the alleged attackers dragged the victim into a room and pinned her down while Woolfork assaulted her.

The
victim is later allowed to leave but not before one of her female
attackers spits on her. She managed to flag down a car and make it to
her home where she fell unconscious and was taken to hospital. She spent
several days in hospital with broken bones in her face, swelling and
being unable to see.

The victim told police that she was attacked after smoking marijuana and drinking beer with people she believed to be her friends, including one girl who had been her best friend since kindergarten.

Patricia Montes, 15, and
Erica Avery, 16, are charged with two counts each of felony armed sexual
assault and kidnapping. Both have been charged as adults.

Henry, 17, of
Hollywood; Lanel Singleton, 18, of North Miami; and Woolfork, 19, all
face charges of capital felony sexual assault and kidnapping.

All have pleaded not guilty and are being held on bond with the exception of Montes.

Singleton, who is believed to have recorded the clips, was expected to appear in court today.

At a bail hearing in November, prosecutor Maria Schneider described the
video of the crime, detailing how the victim pleaded with the alleged attackers to stop
as she held her arms over her face to protect herself from their
unrelenting blows.

‘The
cruelty shown on this video . . . this was repeated over and over again
. . . The girls are trying to remove her bra. You saw the victim sitting
on the toilet crying, her face blown up and swollen from injuries, and
then they beat her,’ Ms Schneider said.

During
parts of the three-hour bail hearing, Avery grinned and rolled her eyes
and had to be admonished by her lawyer to remain composed. Montes, who
was the victim’s best friend, appeared stoic for most of the proceeding.

The victim claims that she
was kicked, thrown down stairs and had her face smashed on concrete,
breaking bones near both her eyes.

The judge said: 'This 16-year-old woman, both of her eyes were closed from
being beaten, she had blood coming from one of her ears.'

The videos, consisting of 11 snippets, show the victim being beaten, but they do not depict sexual activity.
